Ramblings of a Incohearent Mind

Woe to my friend
Woe to his heart
Woe to the heavens
Woe to the earth

Woe to his mistakes
Woe to his miss guided ways
Woe to his casted away dreams
Woe to the trouble heap upon him
Woe to his yearning to refrend a lass

Woe to the heavens
Woe to the earth
Woe to my friend
Woe to his heart

I have been thanking of my childhood quite a lot
lately. I guess it is because I have been working
tech support and talking to many people. Me being
able to communicate effectively stills seems weird to
me. I had a sever speech impairment when I was
young. My problem was just articulation I never
had a learning disability or anything I could
always read and write well above my level. The
last test they gave me I was in the third grade
if I remember right and my comprehension was on
an eleventh grade level. It is a odd feeling to
be called retarded by classmates making worse
grades. I'm not bitter about rather glad I was
treated like that it made me a better person
today. I wish I knew that back then. The only
thing I wish I knew is why I could not articulate.
I know that I spent a lot of time teaching myself
how to think in a different way. One speech therapist
thought that I was thinking to quickly. I do slow
down my thought process now to talk. I have a lot
of problems spelling but I have spell check.

I am amazed that I can do a job where I have to
talk to people all day. I never doubted myself
but maybe I just hadn't realized how far I had come.

I haven't tried this very long and I can never think on anything to post about. I mean my life is fairly dull just go to work, school, bowl, I sleep too. I do know one thing to ask. What the hell is going on with Barack and Hillary. One minute they are at each others throat and the next they might as well be screwing in a cheap hotel room. What the hell. I know that it is a tight race but quit all the bs at lest. Just so you know I don't like either one of them and well I really tired most politicians of today. One side won't do anything the other side wants change but they don't dare tell us what they want to change. We are in for tough times no matter who is elected because with our government just wants to throw money around instead of fix the problems. The main one is spending. Everyone wants to blame the war but it's just a drop in the bucket compared to the rest of fed spending. I am more worried with this election then the last few. Figure that I got on a rant. Maybe I can post. WHO KNOWS? I sure don't.

As we travel our ways
and our trails twist and turn
intertwine and depart
and as I meet and I greet
I am more and more aware
of the friends I have lost
the friends I have forgot
Although I have no regrets
I grow older with each passing day
and often wonder where many of their paths have lead
I wonder of their triumphs and their mistakes
alas as my trail departs form the friends I knew
and as now trials fill the void of those long gone
I am comforted as I continue on my way


This is in it's raw from and is un-punctuated I just felt inspired I will edit over time.

BTW ehowton's page provided the inspiration for this poem.

I've been trying too post since last Wednesday. I wanted to make sure I had an avatar up before my second post. I think I done a good job so maybe more will come as I get more proficient in Photoshop but I digress. On Saturday Feb 16 Tiea (my wife) and me went to a wedding for one of my high school friend in Florence. My wife and our one month old stayed with her grandparents.

So being left alone fir a week what do I do? Go Bowling and Drink Beer! What else. Sunday I ending up subbing for leagues and I bowled against an employee for a while. All this came to twelve games I didn't have any great games most was in the 140's. I was also half drunk bowling in a church league at the end of the day. By the way my average is 132 also I do need to mention that I am developing my hook.

Monday after work I went straight back to the bowling alley and subbed in a serious men's league which I was already establish with an ave. of 120 (I haven't bowled a full season yet so my ave. is not on the books so it goes league by league depending on the rules of the league which can very within the current USBC regulations). I around a 525 series (three games) which works out to a 175 ave. plus an 80 handicap came to about 255 a game. ALL MY BOOZE WAS FREE!!!!!!!!! that night. So after a pitcher of Bud Light and three Jager Bombs I felt great. I do know that I bowled a couple more games I don't know how many.

I feel that I am rambling to much so over the next two nights I bowled in one league and four games. I am now up to 24 games in four days for those who are counting also I haven't had a bad game yet. On Thursday in the league I am in that I pay for and am the captain of the team (because I don't mind the crap that sometimes goes with that). Let me break down that games: 153 great, 175 I held up my team wonderful :D I am happy at this point, then I lost it 107. I done every one of my bad habits at least twice that game and I'm still pissed off.

I went and got Tiea and everything is back to normal again.

In depths of darkness,

shines a light,

In nothingness,

stands and fight.

For without night,

when shall we sleep.

For without night,

when shall we weep.

But when the light

shall shine.

Then in the bright,

shall fine.

The truth, of our,

destiny, and of our,

faith.

I wrote this when I was 14 I know I was searching for my faith but at that tome I really didn't know what. I left this the way I wrote it back then to stay true to myself but I see much room for improvement. Anyway I do want to let ya'll know that most o my post won't be like this but I hadn't let anyone see this but my wife. I hope to post some of my better work later but poetry sadly has fallen by the way side in modern times.
